Nah, the main point of them are to be a relatively-easy but existent buffer for the non-native American nations to nom on.

It also makes a relative lack of sense, considering that grouping, say, the Iroquois and the Huron together would be like grouping the Germans and Russians together.

Goals: Counter the power of the HRE and the Italian League and other "Catholic" nations, establish good relations with former colonies in America
History:
Because the French Revolution never happened, Empress Catherine the Great, continued on her path of reform and introduced sweeping liberalization and reformation to the crumbling and corrupt Empire by emancipating the Serfs. She began to open up the economy for the lower class and soon Russia began to prosper. With the wise and benevolent, though sometimes autocratic Catherine at the helm of the nation, Russia became one of the Greatest powers. In 1790 the Royal Council granted her the title "Empress and Autocrat of all the Russias", renaming the nation "Empire of all the Russias". Catherine's brilliant use of shrewd political outmaneuvering and brute force expanded her domains from Europe to the Mississippi.

Her death in 1796 was mourned by the entire nation, her successor Paul I was a a far departure from his powerful mother. His reign was relatively short, and during that time he took no initiative to expand the domains that his mother had conquered. He died in 1801 and was preceded by his son Alexander I. Being educated and primarily influenced by his grandmother throughout his childhood he took up her mantle and expanded Russian domains throughout Asia. Conquering the Kazakh Khanate and driving the Crimean Tatars out of the Ukraine and the Genovese to only one small city on the peninsula.

Alexander I after conquering and expanding the domain took it upon himself to complete his Grandmothers unfinished reforms. He modernized the military, reformed the taxes, introduced a comprehensive legal code and streamlined the bloated bureaucratic systems. Though he took a progressive path towards civil rights and generally improved the living conditions and happiness of his citizens he concentrated all political power one the meritocratic aristocracy.

Alexander reformed the education system along the lines of his Grandmother and made education free and compulsory. And brought in competent overseas instructors to teach. He was a well known patron of the arts, sciences and literature. In 1813 the North American colonies revolted against the rule of Russia. Russia, unable to fight a comprehensive war in North America entered negotiations immediately following the revolution. And they signed the "Declaration of Independence". Under the terms of the treaty the Russians retained the right to administer Alaska proper, but the fledgling new Republic immediately following independence claimed Alaska proper as a province, an agreement signed a month after independence transferred Alaska to Russo-America.

It is now 1836, Alexander the Magnificent has died and his youngest brother has been enthroned. What does the future hold for Russia? Only the course of history can know.

[Elerian]

Well that's stupid.

[Valentir]

Would an Islamic Absolute Diarchy by Divine Right be too far fetched?

FFS. Anyone?

[Reatra]

How many ships should Napoli have?
and What should be their Quality,

Naples is probably pretty high up there on the Italian navy. Likely behind Genice and Genoa.

They may or may not be great ships, honestly I'm leaning towards less-great for Naplea...

Nah, the main point of them are to be a relatively-easy but existent buffer for the non-native American nations to nom on.

It also makes a relative lack of sense, considering that grouping, say, the Iroquois and the Huron together would be like grouping the Germans and Russians together.

I don't see how that's comparable. Huron and Iroquois largely have similar culture, ethnicity, religion and same language tree, it's competition over land and resources that set them apart. Without a strong East USA to push them back a Native American union isn't unthinkable. I mean even the HRE groups together Poles and Italians.

[The imperial canadian dutchy]

1. How many did they have IOTL?
2. What was their quality IOTL?
3. Uhm. The Latin Empire was formed by Italians? This is the PIL map?

And Can someone explain the countries on the Eastern Seaboard?

Ask Buj when he gets back.

Does Poland have any colonies?

Nyope.

The reason i'm asking those questions about the navy is because Naples is basicly Italian Prussia in regards to Military

[Caltarania]

Well that's stupid.

You could found some, I think Polan probably has like at least one possible colony.

-shrug-

Probably not, but I mean who likes sharing supreme power?

What I'm saying is that 'Native American' isn't a term that Native Americans started using until way after the Manifest Destiny. There is no united Native American culture, both ITTL and IOTL, and most likely the tribes would rather fight each other using the Aleyskans as allies rather than team up on the Aleyskans.

The HRE isn't a voluntary union, though. It is the result of someone saying 'lol i wanna be emperor of europe' and then everyone else saying 'uhmm... kay'.

An army with a nation rather than a nation with an army, you mean?

Best description of the HRE I've heard outside of a textbook.

[Reatra]

I just realized ICD is an Italian power...


XD

Sanna be friends?

[Mishmahig]

I just realized ICD is an Italian power...

Imagine my surprise.

Hrm. Who to be, who to be..? I must sleep on it, and consider. Plenty of options, all with their advantages and drawbacks.

What kind of flag would Sinirussia have... hmm... I was thinking maybe a horizontal tricolour of black, blue, and white, but it may not be very representative of the large Mestizo population. Something a little more warm, too. Hmm. Siniygorod as a capital sounds applicable. I also need a Russian-based Republican system.. Would a Governorship be workable?

I'm Russian Texas, I'm afraid. Smaller, more ethnically diverse, and lots more gun ownership until the end of time.
